Airport Road Outcrop, Miri

Airport Road Outcrop (GPS: 4.3644, 113.97914) is a natural formation along the road between Miri and its airport. This natural laterite outcrop has many layers, and provide geological enthusiasts with an idea of how the land surrounding Miri was formed, as it was pushed out from the seabed some 10-15 million years ago.

I have been searching for this sight for a while from the time I first learned about it many years ago. Going along the road beside the Miri Airport, I found nothing. It was only later (and not when I am in Miri) that I found that, the Airport Road Outcrop is located on Jalan Miri-Bintulu, across from Taman Awam Miri. I suppose this was part of the airport road. Anyway, from Google Street View, I saw that there is a signboard providing interpretation of this sight. It is not an outcrop per se, but rather a cliff side that exposes the strata of the terrain.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
